Yukon Golds, Russets, and fingerling potatoes are all good choices. - Thinly slice the potatoes so that they cook evenly. - Layer the potatoes, cheese, and cider in a baking dish, making sure to season each layer with salt and pepper. - Bake the casserole until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve the casserole hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
